Transport

Abstract

SDA is developing and demonstrating next generation space capabilities for the joint warfighter enabled by proliferation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and a new acquisition model utilizing rapid spiral development. SDA is developing capabilities to address a wide range of Department of Defense (DoD) space needs as stated in the National Defense Strategy and DoD Space Vision, including low-latency tactical communication enabling beyond line of sight targeting and advanced missile tracking. SDA is orchestrating the rapid development and fielding of the National Defense Space Architecture (NDSA), a resilient military sensing and data transport capability via a proliferated space architecture in LEO. This program element funds the development and demonstration of space technologies to deliver low-latency data transport and alternate position, navigation, and timing capabilities to U.S. joint warfighting forces in bi-annual tranches, beginning in FY 2022.
